>> it burned about 1 a. and for a time it threatened homes before fire crews brought it under control. nobody knows how it is started but it is considered suspicious >> it is under investigation. the area is known for having some homeless encampments so we will follow-up and figure out what happened >> neighbors have been complaining about the camps for years. there are 60 camps in san jose housing an estimated 600-900 people. some live out of vehicles while others build elaborate shelters complete with vegetable or ornamental gardens. there have been burglaries' and in the past month there have been two fires. although they have not been very big neighbors worried is just a matter of time >> there are some probably a couple hundred feet from our doors and they frequently build fires all times of the day or night and trolls so it is really

concerned >> over the next five weeks there will be some homeless camp cleanups. there will be one starting in the communications hill area of san jose where there are homeless encampments. there is a lot of work to be done and the city council member for this part of san jose is requesting $150,000 in these tight budgetary times to devote to help clean up the area. one of the biggest issues is what to do with all the things the homeless do. they cannot just throw them away, they have to go into the stores said that creates a different kind of complications. >> at a time when many cities are deeply in debt, san francisco is on a spending spree. the mayor announced the long- term public safety hiring plan that includes six police academies. that means 300 new officers,

whitman will show all about $50,000 just to be there. >> i think it is obnoxious and rude because i think somebody should be elected for what they can do for the people, not influenced by money >> the fact that they can come in and be fairly anonymous and give tons and tons of money scares the hell out of me. >> super packs have already been influential in this election. newt gingrich was backed by a billionaire. reports say that he gave $20 million to singlehandedly keeping newt gingrich afloat. yesterday the billionaire met with mitt romney indicating that he can throw its considerable wealth behind him >> for romney, having these billionaire support you in giving you a huge amount splays into the idea that he is still being controlled by a 1% >> terry binds' from berkeley's institute of government affairs

says it is dangerous for both candid it's because for the regular voters it is all about perceptions >> you think it is just as bad for both candidates? >> yes, all politics >> because so much money was raised by supertax political experts are predicting there could be even more political ads for supposedly because candidates don't have control over the super packs. it was a rare moment of good sportsmanship where the president called mitt romney congratulate him on officially becoming the gop nomination and both wished each other's families well this holiday season. >> coming up we will show you why this burden will be in the sky more often. >> his car was stolen and that was just the beginning of his problems. the nightmare ordeal for a bay area driver.

law that allowed the cities towing company to auction off his car without telling him >> if it is valued at $4,000 or less they do not need to notify you that they're selling your car >> technically they and auction off your car after three days but michael's car was not totally for unpaid tickets or illegal parking, it was stolen and then recovered and then towed here to where the car theft victim says she was victimized again when he was asked to pay $500 to get his stolen car back shortly after it was towed there >> i didn't know what condition my car was in so why was not willing to take the leap of faith and a money with the chance that would not be able to drive the car off a lot >> so he says he temporarily left his car and followed the instructions to contest the feet but he says no one ever answered the phone line or responded to his written request. >> i have heard of this from other people who can't get

anyone on the phone and eventually the car gets auctioned off >> while the supervisor says he is not much he can do about the state law allowing people to watch in their car without telling you, there are changes he is working on locally that will prevent car theft victims from having this happen >> there would be a certain amount to retrieve the car before any billing starts happening. you're the victim and it should be easy and inexpensive to get the car back >> the point company points out that the fees are set by the city and they blame this partially on the fact that the car was registered in ohio and if he had taken the time to register his car in california the outcome would a big difference >> they have a copy of it with my phone number and my contact information so that is both its >> auto return says he should have followed up directly with them. even though he did follow the instructions on the paperwork directing him to contact the hall of justice. nowhere on here does it say your car might be sold but the

monitors are being installed in the building, chosen because of its unique structural system. it has a thick concrete core attached to steel braces that act like shock absorbers during an earthquake. >> as this building moves in an earthquake, each one of those answers picks up motion. is sent to computers which analyze it and that data is given to structural engineers who can see how well their design is actually standing up to earthquake motion >> look how the sensors record the slightest movement. the higher up in the building, the more movement. the show's only 1,007 in. of movement caused by the wind. >> when the building is eventually shaken strongly, we want to have those records available >> scientists say there is a 60 percent chance of the bay area having an earthquake magnitude 6.7 or greater in the next 30

years. unfortunately, they need to wait until an earthquake kits to test and record the structural performance of the 64 story building. >> the uss nimitz has left san francisco. the carrier arrived to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the colgate bridge. it was tied up by pierce 30-32. it is believed to be on a routine mission. a retired u.s. warship has reached its new home city. the uss iowa arrived in l.a. this morning. it will be converted to a floating interactive museum. >> and new application from mitt romney campaign is getting attention for the wrong reasons. the startup screen on the application says a better america with the word america misspelled. the campaign fixed it on an
